By Lindsay Silberman,

It looks like The X Factor may have officially hired its fourth and final judge. Demi Lovato will be joining the panel for the upcoming season of the show, E! Online reports.

Upon X Factor's return in September, Lovato will join newly appointed judge Britney Spears, who reportedly signed her deal last week, and last season's judges Simon Cowell and L.A. Reid.

Earlier this year, the show cleaned house, axing host Steve Jones and judges Nicole Scherzinger and Paula Abdul. In March, Reid and Cowell confirmed that the two judges spots would be filled by two women.

Janet Jackson, LeAnn Rimes and Miley Cyrus were all rumored to be in the running for a judging spot.
